we're going to look at verb patterns.

More specifically, we'll look at the verb:
enjoy because this is where I see a
2
9120
6269
00:15
lot of mistakes made.
3

00:18
For example, it's very common for me to
see someone saying this: I'm enjoy to do
4
18150
7350
00:25
it. The correct way to say this
5
25500
2789
00:28
and the verb pattern we want to use is
the following:
6
28289
3000
00:31
I enjoy doing it.
7
31859
3121
00:34
So, when we use enjoy, we use the verb to
be and then after we say I enjoy or you
8
34980
9120
00:44
enjoy.
9
44100
990
00:45
We use the gerund: doing -
10
45090
3239
00:48
I enjoy doing it.
11
48329
3120
00:51
The pattern stays the same no matter
which tense we use. So, we can say I enjoy
12
51449
7261
00:58
doing it -
13
58710
1110
00:59
I enjoyed doing it - I've enjoyed doing
yet - and i'm going to enjoy doing it.
14
59820
9299
01:09
So, we still use doing, the gerund, after
enjoy in any tense. Here is another
15

01:17
example: I'm going to enjoy spending time
with my family.
16
77759
4921
01:23
I'm going to enjoy spending time with my
family.
17

Everyone enjoys singing karaoke, right?
Now, here is an example using enjoy with
18
88020
7650
01:35
a noun:
19
95670
870
01:36
he's not enjoying this movie.
20
96540

01:39
He's not enjoying this movie.
